    A couple of questions about CC

    John_Picton Community Member

      Hi all

       

      Having just seen that the Photographers deal is available to all until Dec 2nd (my copy of CS 5.1 was a charity purchase so didn't previously apply) I have a couple of questions.

       

      Question 1

      Permitted machines: I know that I can have 2 computers licensed at any one time - my intention is to have my desktop and my Laptop licensed - in the future it is likely that I will be changing my Laptop. Am I right in assuming that the same system as before applies in that I can simply remove the authorisation from one computer that then frees that licence up for another machine?

       

      Question 2

      Co-existing versions of Photoshop: I assume that it is possible to keep my previous versions on the same machine that has the CC version?

       

      Sorry if these are basic questions, I just want to be sure.

       

      Just one final question. The price is listed at £7.xx (cant remember the pence figure) for people signing up to an annual plan. Is this paid annually or monthly?

       

      Thanks for any info.

       

      Cheers

       

      John

          Yes.

           

          Help > Sign Out on the old computer to deactivate.

           

          Install on the new computer should automatically Sign In (activate).

           

           

          Question 2

          Co-existing versions of Photoshop: I assume that it is possible to keep my previous versions on the same machine that has the CC version?

          Yes, that's what most people do.

           

           

          Just one final question. The price is listed at £7.xx (cant remember the pence figure) for people signing up to an annual plan. Is this paid annually or monthly?

          All Adobe subscription plans (annual commitment and monthly commitment) are paid monthly.

           

          If you sign up for an annual plan you pay a lower monthly fee than if you sign up for a month-by-month plan which can be cancelled at any time.

           

          Some 3rd party resellers may offer 12-month pre-paid Cloud memberships, but that's not available from Adobe direct.

            Thank you John - That was extremely helpful.

             

            I feel a bit lazy now though - I found 2 of the answers by looking through the FAQ files (though the last bit about pricing I still couldn't find).

             

            As I said thanks for taking the time to explain the situation.

             

            Cheers
